New post in The Empowered Patient on Informed Decision Making

See the latest "The Empowered Patient" column in the January issue of MPN Forum, an online magazine that features stories and news about myeloproliferative neoplasms. In my column, I share personal experiences with shared decision making and offer some background information about the process of informed medical decision making.
The column can be found at: www.mpnforum.com/the-empowered-patient-january/. You can find a link to MPN Forum in my favorites on the right side of this page.
I have added a link to the Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making in my favorites as well. Check it out for excellent information and news.
